Hi just curious if anyone else was told by JJP to re-route your network cables away from the other harnesses? I was having issues with my keyboard sensors losing calibration. So far after the re-route or re-"strapping" I've had no issues... only 10 games in. Wondered if anyone else had the same issue and if it fixed it?

I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Just had one of those perfect games - went 4-for-4 on song modes, and earned the extra ball each time. I even successfully passed Desert Demolition, and went into my last song (Estranged) with plenty of locks and ballsaver, and the Shirt and Poster patch combo just in case. Didn't waste any time hitting the scoop on either the final album mode or Not In This Lifetime mode. Definitely let out a roar when I entered NITL mode, so my wife is a little annoyed that I'm keeping our youngest one awake. My older son thought NITL was hilarious though. Didn't do so well in the mode but just getting there was like a three-month odyssey of mine. Man do I love this game!

welcome to the club. Its a crazy mode.

Stern just released code updates for almost every game the past 5 years. Where are you JJP?

What is the easiest way to connect the Polk Audio PSW10 sub woofer to the LE? Does the LE have the ability to connect RCA cables directly from the pin to the sub-woofer? Thanks for the help!

Either get a Pinwoofer kit or use alligator clips .

Thanks, for the Pinwoofer kit, does he sell a kit to connect an external subwoofer to a JJP pin only?

Looks like Stern spike games as well .

Send a pm to Dan at PinWoofer and I'm sure he will answer any questions .

Exactly. Crickets + one of the worst implemented modes in modern pinball (Slash Solo). What gives JJP?

I'm looking to order one of the Mezel Mods spot light bracket kits but right now the website said "Not Available." Do you guys know how often Mezel does a production run of these brackets and when I can expect to have one available to order?

Greetings, we don't directly service this per-se. However, you can check if your sound card has the green mini jack populated like in the photo. (The original intent for this jack was to supply a signal to the CE sound bar, but some of the LE / SE do have this jack populated. Can't say how many.) If you have that jack, you can likely just get a cable for your external sub. Looking at the schematic it appears there's a 6dB boost to it too, which is a plus. You might be tempted to "split" the audio cable from the motherboard, but I (and others) have not been able to make this work because it attenuates the signal to the factory amp.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw this out in case you wanted to look at it. All of our amplifiers have a pro level output that give a strong signal to an external device, not to mention our backbox and cabinet sound epic on GNR.

Thanks,

Dan

Do you have a 3d Printer or have access to a 3d Printer? Also places do this like Shapeways and can print for you as well.
If so:

There's a pdf bulletin JJP put out as well that has you trim a piece that is apparently causing the issue. It's here with photos.

Awesome man

Just got one! This machine is AWESOME
Anyone know the 3 secret flipper codes for the hidden videos?

New GnR LE owner checking in.
First pinball machine I've ever owned.
Was on an Iron Maiden kick recently and the youtube algorithm offered up the pinball machine... which led to Rush, then to Led Zep and then GnR which led to a distributor not too far away with a new and used one and voila!
My 13 y.o. daughter is a huge classic metal/punk rock fan... can't wait until she comes home from camp to see this beast!

Awesome! My daughters also love rock pins more than the others. Hope they like it!

Or, more mnemonically, "GNR"

Had a great time touring the plant and talking with Eric at Jersey Jack just now. Saw Steve walk by too as I was waiting in the lobby. Walked the lines and Saw Toy Story and some GNR’s on the line being made. Played Toy story for the first time too and it was a fun game! Eric’s a Great guy and they run a tight shop. Looking forward to see what’s in store for us in the near future!

Similar to how I got in the hobby last year… I’m a big Maiden fan and saw that game and thought about buying it, but then saw GNR and had to buy it. I love it and hope you will too! Be careful, they multiply. While waiting for my GNR I got a JP and just recently a 3rd pin.

That's cool they're still making GNR... Maybe they'll make all 5,000 after all! Would be a fitting end to an amazing game.

Thankyou. That worked. Now to figure out the code showing Slash playing GNR for the first time. If anyone knows this flipper code please let us know. Thanks

Hello, does anyone have any information on how to fix this this?

Also- I’m not sure if this is related or not, but I have an issue where before the ball is plunged, if I hit the flipper it actually adds points. I noticed this while trying to cycle to status screens to see my patches - which I cannot do! Instead it just keeps adding points.
— if it helps the sound that is made while doing this sounds like drums (or heavy bass thumping).

I haven’t been on thread for a long time and due to life haven’t played this pin for over two months. But I’m ready to get back into this great game.
I’m also relative newb so I do appreciate any help!

The #33 switch stuck closed is almost certainly related to the points you get when using the flipper. The cause is a misadjusted switch. I believe this is the switch behind the rubber on the upper PF. Go into switch test mode, and check that switches function. You'll probably have to bend the leaf slightly so it's not so sensitive. It's probably activating with just the slighest shaking, such as when you hit the flipper buttons. Make it less sensitive, but activates when a ball stikes the rubber.

As for the left ramp switch, the solution is the same. Go into switch test mode, and see if its working. You may need to bend or slightly tweak the switch blade or wire form on the ramp.

Good luck.

check posts #18746

A couple things and they could be quite simple actually. I don't know what 33 is off the top of my head but there's a good chance it just needs to be hit or cycled to clear it. You can go right in to the matrix text from the screen you are showing to see what the actual switch is called. Get in to the switch test screen and the one that is red on the layout of the playfield that shows on the screen is the switch that needs to be triggered or cycled or adjusted.
The points that are being registered are most likely from a leaf blade switch that is too close and making contact from vibration. My guess is the lower slings or this 33 switch makes sense as well. Just needs an adjustment. If it isnt this 33 switch, take off the glass and start the game and just tap on the playfield at different parts of the game until you find the one causing the points increase and then adjust the leaf switch accordingly.
Please don't get frustrated or overthink this. It's most likely a very simple adjustment.
Report back if you're having trouble.

Yeah good job...

this link post should be key posted for Easter egg along with other Easter egg key post.

Yes I used the screws and double sided tape he gave me…
I did read a few other comments about what a tight fit they were,
but I can still lift my playfield out, without them interfering .

I know, dumb question but does that mean with the protectors
If to keep them shiny, do I have constantly put them on and and take them off
When I play ?

No. They are only used when you remove the glass to lift the playfield.
Just make sure you have them on there every time you intend to lift the playfield. This will keep your playfield from rubbing on the cabinet sides and destroying your artwork or mirror blades.

Anybody besides me plan on ordering (or have ordered) the ppp CNC aluminum flippers? They should be back in stock in a week or so.

Welcome to the GnR club and welcome to the greatest hobby on earth! Just make sure you carve out some room for your 2nd pin. I guarantee you will have another by its side in <6 months.

Plenty of us did. That’s how they became out of stock.

Nope. Don't have any issues with the stock flippers that it came with. They work great.

Ok so I wanted to give a shout out to JJP Support folks. I feel strongly that a company is nothing without good customer support. And I will say that in my own job, even though I’m not in support, I do interact directly with customers and I do everything within my ability to make their experience with our products the best it can possibly be.

When I first placed my order for a GNR LE last summer I started following the machine on Pinside and I have to say I was getting a bit nervous based on comments I was seeing. I’m not talking about playfields at all here. Although there is a lot that can be said about that and I have opinions on both sides of the issue, but it has been discussed enough. Coincidentally I had my first experience with pooling just recently, but it is minor and will take care of it at some point. My problem was related to spotlights.

I was having really strange behavior from my right spotlight from I think right at the very beginning. Since it doesn’t affect game play it took me a really long time to get around to even reporting it. I spent a bunch of time troubleshooting on my own before reaching out because, one I enjoy working on machines, and two I think that because of the general nature of these things as a responsible owner you need to do that.

After doing all I could (and taking a while to do that) I sent a few email responses and didn’t hear back. That’s when I posted here venting my frustration. The fact that JJP Support folks watch the board and respond is super awesome. Turns out I needed to open a new ticket and when I did I had great results. I did some more troubleshooting as requested just to be sure, but it clearly isn’t a simple issue. So it looks like I have a new controller board coming my way soon.

So many times we hear only the negative about things in this internet based world that I felt it was important to follow up here to call out the positives as well.

Thanks Brian for you help and support!

Ok this may be another long post, but I’ll try to keep it as short as I can LOL. First of all I have to admit that I have been really down on this machine for several months since I picked up another band themed pin that was released by another manufacturer at the beginning of the year. I firmly believe that we will never see a music themed pin that is more beautiful or awe inspiring as GNR. I hope I’m wrong about that though, but the bar is really high here.

Even as amazing as it is, the game play was killing me and my scores were horrible and at the same time I was loving that other pin. It got so bad that I have actually been thinking about selling/trading it. What makes that even worse is that I had even got to meet Duff and had him sign the apron and so I planned on this thing being bolted to the floor.

The twist in the story is that after putting time in working on my spotlights (also had a burned motor on one), I decided to make some tweaks. Turns out dropping from the hole in the upper playfield was actually draining straight down the right outlane pretty consistently. Instead of tearing everything apart to make an adjustment I just put a tiny bit of furniture felt at the end and that fixed it for now.

Within a handful of games I had set a new GC score of ~37M (double my previous GC score - nothing too amazing compared to others, but I feel like I’m just getting started now) and missed a 25+M jackpot on two other games. In short I’m super excited about the game again and not even considering getting rid of it.

I’m also motivated even more to see if I can get out to Duff’s place and do some work on his machine for him. He actually sounded a bit bummed about it when I met him because he was having issues and scores suffered as a result. In fact it sounds like his Data East machine gets way more play time as a result. We need to fix that.

You're almost funny. Keep trying.. Lol.
So you have them and installed them on your GnR?

Similar story here. Deserving a shout out to Steve at JJP who is working with me on my "not so simple issue" .. great support.

I think this is a mod... Not a fix per se... I think maybe you haven't read the review thread at the link I posted if that's what you think they are for. But if you have read it then it's just not of interest to you which is fine of course.
The ppp flipper system is designed as an improvement, not just to be installed to fix any issues, although it could be used for that purpose obviously... Seems to be just a better mousetrap, as they say.
There isn't anything wrong with mine either but I'm going to install these to reap the benefits outlined in the other thread... Plus they look really good and adjustments on the top are a bonus..
I was just asking around here if anyone got into the first batch ordering before sold out and installed them, etc

So, using alpha code...
G-N-R for the tour video
S-S-H for the Slash visit
E-M-M (Eric's initials) for the Eric video

BRB, trying 1-24-12!

Same. Nothing but great support experience on my end with Brian when troubleshooting random multiballs (reseating connector to trough board solved it) and later on a spotlight issue and ordering a couple spotlight bits. Super responsive always on point.

Wonder what’s happening with the extra playfields many of us asked to be on the list for this summer. I check with jjp about two months ago but there was no news on their side at the time

They said after GNR line stops, which they're still building them according to a recent tour of JJP a few posts above. But Way back when spare playfield wait list was announced they predicted around the END of summer timeframe....so you're getting close...

What should I check for to fix this little problem with the coma lock? Happens randomly during gameplay and attract mode. On the matrix it seems like something is pretty sensitive. Perhaps the opto? But what . Thanks!

Check this post...
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-official-jjp-gnr-thread/page/450#post-7060621

Basically reroute your ethernet cables so they're not bundled with the other wires as much as you can ... get them all isolated down the middle of the playfield.

What does the test matrix look like? If it's the only thing triggering and no other
switches or coils are firing its most likely a switch adjustment, dirty opto etc... right there at the source of the problem.
Something thinks the ball is there.
